As of 9th April, the French subsidiary of Scell-it has been acquired by the Briconord Group. This strategic acquisition marks a new stage in the Group's development, in keeping with its external growth momentum initiated in 2015.
Based in Lesquin, Scell-it has 48 employees and has been developing in-depth expertise in blind rivets, rivet nuts, metal and chemical fastenings, as well as installation tools. Through its three brands – Scell-it, Atlas, and Smartool – the company targets both professionals and large DIY stores.
"Joining Briconord is a real opportunity for Scell-it. We are joining a group that shares our values, alongside strong brands and committed employees," emphasises Franck Debruyne, president of Scell-it.
This acquisition enriches the Briconord Group's portfolio, alongside its existing brands that include Norail, Starblock, Easy Protect, and Mac Lean, among others. It particularly strengthens the Group's expertise in the field of fasteners, a sector that Briconord deems strategic in order to meet the growing expectations of professional and consumer markets.
"The arrival of Scell-it represents a strategic step in our development. It allows us to build a French leader in screws and fasteners and provide an even more comprehensive response to our customers' needs," adds Christian Guillou, president of the Briconord Group.
Becca is the latest member to join our team and is eager to get stuck into the world of fasteners. She brings an enthusiastic and fresh outlook on what we do editorially and will be leading our social media activity – including sourcing material, editing articles and posting online.
